The Foo Ride For Your Life ride.
So who is the best Fooster here? This is how we will find out. The ride is a stage race, which will cover 6,928.7204 miles. Starts in Key West Florida and will end in Inuvik North Western Territories Canada(See Route Map Below.)
Some facts about this race.
Participation is mandatory.
This race isn't about team, it's a solo effort for each of you.
You are only allowed to run the bike you started the race with, unless you have a catastrophic parts/frame failure.
Don't be last across the line at the end of each stage. The last person across the finish line at the end of the day will be subjected to a fate. For example the NJ stage if you finish last you are given as a sacrifice to the Jersey Devil.
There will be a bunch of climbing on the route. Biggest and steepest climbs being in the Brooks Mountain Range. There will be no elimination with that stage. The overall winner will receive a prize.
Did I mention, participation is mandatory.

I'm not sure why it went around Tennessee instead of following the natural path right through it.
